Subchorionic haemorrhage? Spotting and cramping, seen by EPU....

Question

So as some of you may know I’ve been having spotting and cramping the past week or so. My midwife referred me to the Early Pregnancy Unit and I’ve just had a scan- baby is measuring right on track (8 wks 5 days), but they found a subchorionic haemorrhage. Anyone know anything about this? I’m so scared it’ll cause a miscarriage 😢
Should I avoid gym/heavy lifting? Will that make it worse? What will help it to heal?

Answer

I had one and my body reabsorbed it in a matter of a few weeks. I would avoid anything strenuous just to be safe. It’s very very common though.

Answer

Hi! I had this at 6 weeks 3 days. I was bleeding so much and passing a few small clots. It was so similar to a period. I went in and we saw the baby. My doctor said to lift no more than 10lbs, drink extra fluid, and absolutely no intercourse. 
I sipped on water all day and rested when I could. I had another ultrasound scan at 10 weeks 4 days, and it was gone! I know everyone’s situation is different and the size of them varies, so I would just take it easy when you can and drink even more water. My doctor also said about every 1 in 10 pregnancies she sees one will have a subchorionic hematoma and majority of them do not cause harm to the pregnancy. 
Good luck mama. 😊
